Horizontal position of cursor

[Marcus Mängel]

Hi,

I try to find out the horizontal position of the cursor on a page.

HP.Range.Select
Selection.MoveLeft Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1
X = CInt(Selection.Range.Information(wdHorizontalPositionRelativeToPage))

Unfurtunately I allways get the value "-1".
What can be done to get the correct value?

TIA

Marcus

Hi Marcus,

switch views (print, normal) and back beforehand.

Hi Helmut,
I tried your tip and entered the following command line infront of the
others:
ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View = wdPrintView as well as wdNormalView

Both ways did not work.

Is there another way to figure out the horizontal position?

TIA
